Greater Boston Area Work Related Injury Claims
For experienced advice about your rights to compensation for any serious injury suffered on the job, contact the Massachusetts personal injury lawyers at Kenney & Conley in Braintree. Our attorneys carefully examine the facts relating to your workplace injury claim, and make sure that you understand your rights and options for compensation. All consultations are free, and you owe no attorney's fee until your case settles or wins at trial.
We represent employees, contractors, and subcontractors injured in construction accidents, warehouse accidents, and motor vehicle collisions involving truck drivers, delivery route drivers, and home repair technicians. Our inquiry into the cause of your accident, the extent and duration of the resulting injuries, and the liability of all potential defendants can give you the best chance of recovering full compensation in such situations as the following:
- Falls from roofs or scaffolding
- Accidents in factories and assembly plants
- Warehouse and loading dock accidents
- Construction site injuries
- Accidents involving heavy equipment or industrial tools
- Longshore and harbor accidents
- Injuries suffered by police or firefighters
- Truck or commercial vehicle accidents
- Toxic exposure from welding rod fumes or industrial solvents
- Asbestosis, mesothelioma, or other occupational illnesses
In some cases, the victim of a work related injury will be limited to a workers' compensation claim because no solid evidence indicates the fault or negligence of a party other than the employer. In other situations, however, our analysis of the facts will indicate the advisability of a personal injury lawsuit against a driver, a general contractor, an equipment manufacturer, or a property owner for the full range of your damages, even while you are collecting workers' compensation benefits.
The difference between workers' compensation benefits and personal injury damages can be very substantial. Workers' comp covers only a portion of lost wages during a period of disability and the costs of medical treatment. Personal injury damages, meanwhile, can cover not only the full value of past and future income loss, but also damages for pain and suffering, future medical treatment and rehabilitative therapy, and reduction in the quality of life.
Our work related injury attorneys also represent the surviving families of persons killed in accidents on the job. For additional information about the scope of our services, contact a knowledgeable workplace accident lawyer at Kenney & Conley.
